@destineex33 where did you have your surgery done at? At the moment I feel like I'm doing something wrong and the weight isn't coming off. Like I don't know if I'm not eating enough or eating the right things.

[destineex33 22]

How long ago did you have surgery? I go through periods where My weight loss stalls. Once I had a whole month. If You're not eating enough your body will go in starvation mode, maybe that's What it is

I had my surgery on April 1st of this year. I usually eat 3 meals a day 95% of the time. I get 40g of Protein through my Isopure drink a day. I haven't ate sweets or any bad stuff. I'm starting to try foods again but get scared I'm going to get sick

[destineex33 22]

Where do you get your Protein Drinks at? I'm still not finding one I like. Sounds to me like You're doing everything right.. probably just stalling a bit

[destineex33 22]

What are you eating so far

[miklavic 2]

I found these drinks at GNC called Isopure. There are usually in the refrigerator section and in a glass bottle. They have all kinds of different favors. grape and alpine punch are my favorite. They are kind of expensive but if that's the way I have to get my Protein I will. I usually have skim milk with sf chocolate Syrup in the am followed by 8oz of Protein Drink. For Breakfast I usually eat lot and fit Greek yogurt and a fruit cup. lunch is usually a meat Protein with veggies and same with dinner
